  • A nurses group calling for the enactment oof the Robin Hood Tax participates in a march to the White House on July 24, 2012. The protest criticized U.S. support for pharmaceutical companies which have resisted generic licenses for their drugs for people living with HIV and AIDS. Several people were arrested after tying red ribbons, many connected to prescription bottles, onto the White House fence. The protest took place during the XIX International AIDS Conference. The nurses are backing a small tax on international financial transactions.

  • 2 March 2017, Morija, Maseru district, Lesotho: Gwendolyn (right) and Malika (left) are nurses at Scott Hospital, where they've worked for 10 and 8 years, respectively. Both studied at Maluti Adventist Hospital. Scott Hospital is run by the Lesotho Evangelical Church in Southern Africa and is a founding member of the Christian Health Association of Lesotho. It is located in the village of Morija, and operates and supervises clinics in the Maseru District of Lesotho. Scott started out as a dispensary in 1864, and today offers comprehensive healthcare Mondays-Fridays, as well as pharmaceutical services around the clock. Lesotho suffers from high numbers in Tuberculosis in disesase and mortality, and so the hospital screens all patients for TB. The hospital observes among many patients what they describe as ”low health-seeking behaviour”, services are increasing and demand rising, but space and human resources are a challenge, as is funding. I key concern is one of infrastructure, where the original design of the hospital matches poorly with current needs, as departments and buildings are scattered, posing a challenge for security. Another challenge is to adapt donation structures, so as to be able to receive payments electronically. The hospital has one ambulance, which they describe as not enough, but what they have. Another challenge is that lack of funds affects maintenance of buildings and infrastructure, as the immediate care of patients take priority.

  • Some of the 240 girls and teachers from two women’s high schools in Okinawa who were conscripted by the Japanese army to serve as nurses in underground wards during the Battle of Okinawa near the end of World War II. Some of the girls also delivered messages to soldiers on the front lines. It was dangerous work and some were killed. Most thought that the Japanese army would defeat the American troops in a matter of days, and thus brought school supplies to study, thinking they’d soon be back in their classrooms. As the fighting deteriorated, they were told that if they were captured they would be raped and killed, so surrender was not to be considered.<br />
<br />
On June 18, 1945, the nursing unit was disbanded. Until then, only 19 of the students had been killed, but on the next day many were killed during an attack by US forces. In the week that followed, about 80 percent of the girls and their teachers perished. Many committed suicide, either by throwing themselves off cliffs or with hand grenades given to them by the Japanese soldiers. Only one teacher and seven students survived.<br />
<br />
These photos are part of an exhibit in the Himeyuri Peace Museum in Okinawa.<br />
<br />
Okinawans have suffered inordinately during military campaigns in the region, and many today struggle to rid their island of all military presence, including several US bases.
